I guess a lot of people like the newer versions of Windows Media Player and it seems to work fine for me. As far as a 3rd party music player/organizer I would go with MediaMonkey or Aimp2 or Aimp3 beta.

Unfortunately, I had to uninstall foobar2000, because I install an infected DarkOne skin file from tedgo,DeviantArt. I could'nt not anymore enter into my Admin or user account, when typing my password, I noticed that ones I press a key, a few keys were displayed. It was horrible ! At the end, I could find a solution. The culprit was a dll installed in the 'components' folder. For now, I don't want anymore foobar2000 neither its skins.
